Chapter 513: Decisive Victory in the Great Cause (4)
"Duke Zhu, the subordinates have visited Duke Zhu."
When the government in Tu City was in the palace, surrounded by a group of Wu army generals, Huang Zai and Huang Chengde, who came as envoys this time, did not show any panic at all.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but straighten his body and straighten his sitting posture slightly, "Let's say, when the two armies were fighting, your king sent you as an envoy, what do you mean?" ”
"The king of my family, Zhu Gongshi, is a rare outstanding person in the world, and he must know that he is also aware of the envoy of his subordinates." Huang Zai smiled, broke Zhu Yuanzhang's knowingly question, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had not changed his expression, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but continue: "Compared with the Yuan Meng Tartars, Zhu Gong is the husband of my Han family."
Therefore, the king of my family is no longer willing to be an enemy of Zhu Gong and do that fratricidal thing. And there is a way that 'those who know the times are handsome', Zhu Gong started from Buyi, and in just a few years, he has such a foundation, which can be described as a masterpiece. But in the middle of October, Zhu Gong fought several battles with my master, but he was defeated one after another.
Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging the city, it can be seen that our lord has his own destiny, which is beyond the power of man. Zhu Gongren Jieye, at this point, why do you need to go against the sky? Wouldn't it be a pity that years of hard work were ruined, and I would end up dead?
Our lord has always cherished the talented and learned, and his personal morality is corrupted like that Chen Youliang, and he descends to my lord, and my lord can also give him a high position, and he will be gracious in every way. And even people like Chen Youliang are still like this, let alone Zhu Gong. Therefore, as long as Zhu Gong can distinguish the righteousness, conform to the will of heaven, and lead the troops to surrender to my lord, then my lord will also let me promise you Zhu Gong.
The Duke of Wu led by Duke Zhu can be hereditary. Even Jinling can be used as a food town for the Duke of Zhu, and it is owned by the Duke of Zhu and his descendants. ”
“……”
Suddenly, hearing Huang Zai say this, all the generals of the Wu army who were angry King Kong in the hall couldn't help but change their color at this time, and subconsciously turned their eyes to their lords, and even some of them showed a look of intention on their faces.
After all, the war has been fought so far, and the Wu army can really be said to have lost consecutive battles. Chizhou, Huizhou and other places were lost, not to mention, yesterday there was news that Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang sent troops to Jiangyin and took Shaoxing (the news was deliberately spread by Zhang Shihua).
In this way, even though there are many loyal people in the Wu army who are willing to go to Huangquan with Zhu Yuanzhang, they really have no hope in their hearts for defeating the Chu army and returning to the old land.
And now, just when they were about to burn the jade, they couldn't help but rejoice when they heard Chu Jun make such a guarantee.
But at this time, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang, there are hidden ambitions in the Wu army to win the world. The rest of the people do not have such lofty ambitions.
Most people's previous thoughts were just to defeat Zhang Shicheng and turn the rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang into their own. This kind of ambition is only the word wealth.
Previously, the reason why they had the idea of burning jade with the Chu army was that they felt that the Chu army, as the victor, would definitely not let go of their group of losers easily.
After all, in such troubled times, it has always been a winner-takes-all. This can be seen by looking at the homes of these generals. Among them, there is also a mansion that was not snatched from the enemy, and how can the beauty in the mansion lack other wives and concubines?
But now that the Chu army is willing to let them live, in this way, the generals who have already lived the life they dreamed of back then, who can put life and death out of the way?
Therefore, most of the generals looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the main seat, for a while.
Some generals even began to secretly pray in their hearts, hoping that their lord would choose to surrender. Because only in this way can those of them who are subordinates save their lives while not falling into the name of their master.
"Haha, hahahaha."
Feeling the thoughtful eyes of the hall, looking down at Huang Zai, who had already shown a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help laughing.
"What, does Zhang Shihua want me to be the queen of the Tang Dynasty? If that's the case, he probably thinks too much of me! Zhu Yuanzhang's beard was all open, his eyes were round, and he looked like an enraged lion.
Treating others with himself, he doesn't believe that Zhang Shihua can really fulfill his promise.
Besides, even if Zhang Shihua really fulfills his promise, what can he do? After surrendering, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was just a prisoner between life and death.
Growing up, struggling to survive, he has suffered enough insults in this life. Now, he finally jumped out of the chessboard and became a hunter who competes all over the world, how can he want to become a chess piece in the hands of others again.
"Zhang Shihua killed my general, killed my subjects, this battle, there is him without me, there is me without him, that's all!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but put his eyes full of murderous intent on Huang Zai's body.
When Huang Zai saw this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his forehead couldn't help but be covered with sweat in an instant.
thought that since Zhu Yuanzhang would meet him in front of the generals, he must have the idea of surrendering. After all, if this is not the case, let him persuade him with clever words in front of the generals, wouldn't it be a mess of the army's heart. But he never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any idea of surrendering at all, and he saw him just to ......
"This time I will use all of you for your first use, so as to show my heart to the king of your family."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed coldly, and he couldn't help waving his hand to signal the left and right guards to take him to execution.
"The two countries are at war and don't come to the war, Zhu Yuanzhang, you are self-defeating, you are self-defeating!"
Hwang Jae roared loudly, but it was clearly useless. And Zhu Yuanzhang in the hall didn't pay attention to Huang Zai who was shouting at this time, he just turned his gaze to the generals in the hall who were just showing their intentions.
And these generals are undoubtedly pale at this time. Just like Huang Zai's words, the two countries are at war and do not kill them. And Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of Huang Zai this time not only cut off his own retreat, but also cut off all the retreats of all the generals present.
Then when Zhang Shihua knew more about this matter, even if it was just to save face, they would definitely die as enemies present.
"Gentlemen, whether you live or die, this time it depends on the sharp blades in the hands of the generals. If this battle is won, all the generals and I will live, and the wealth and glory will be endless; And if we fail, I and the generals will also go to Huangquan together. Looking at the generals under the hall, when Huang Zai's head was presented by the guards, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say such a profound remark in one fell swoop.
After saying this, before the generals present could react, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pull out the sword at his waist and cut off his little finger with a swing of the sword.
"This time, I will use this to make an oath to the kings, and the kings will not live up to me, and I will not live up to the kings!"
"Die for the Lord!" Hua Yun, Zhu Wenzhong and other generals who were most loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, and they immediately couldn't help kneeling on the ground. Then he swung a knife and cut off the little finger of his left hand like Zhu Yuanzhang.
In this way, the rest of the generals couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cut off their fingers with their knives to show their thoughts.
In this way, in the midst of a bloody atmosphere, the extremely sluggish Wu soldiers couldn't help but be greatly invigorated. And with such a jade burning heart, even though Zhang Shihua was furious after learning about this, he led his troops to storm Dangtu City, but it was difficult to make progress for a while.
……
"Kill, !!"
The roar of fighting sounded on the battlefield again, and thousands of Chu soldiers and soldiers, accompanied by the sound of war drums and artillery, couldn't help but form a formation again and rushed in the direction of Dangtu City.
And when the defenders on Tucheng's side saw this, they also launched a fierce counterattack against the Chu army with arrows and firearms in their hands.
So far, the time has come to July 23, the 19th year of Zhizheng, and the crazy Chu army has been besieging the city for seven days.
At this time, both sides were all killed, there were no prisoners, and there was no surrender. Now it's just that either you die or I die, so after a few days of fighting, the land around Tu City was simply dyed red with blood.
"Damn, pass on the military order of this king, concentrate the artillery in one place for this king, and storm the corner of the city of Tu. What the Wu thieves are relying on now is just their fortified city. Without the city, this king wants to see how these thieves still resist! ”
Seeing that the attack launched by Fang Cai was once again in vain, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but become a little anxious.
At this point in the war, no one wants to lose. In this cruel and chaotic world, it is completely a winner-takes-all place.
This is just like Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe that Zhang Shihua would treat him well after he surrendered, and Zhang Shihua also doesn't feel that he and Zhu Yuanzhang still have any room for relaxation.
All this is just like what Zhu Yuanzhang said before, either you die or I die.
"Bang Bang !!"
The deafening sound of artillery began to sound, and hundreds of shells bombarded the walls of Dangtu incessantly. As for Dangtu's side, after days of fierce fighting, many of their bronze cast artillery were directly damaged.
Therefore, the strength of the counterattack was greatly weakened compared to before, and it was successfully suppressed by the Chu army in a short time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! One after another, the cannonballs smashed heavily on the wall of Dangtu, and under such a non-stop bombardment, by the evening of this day, there was really a corner of the city wall that was collapsed by the Chu army.
Seeing this, the Chu army couldn't help but boost their morale, and once again rushed towards Dangtu Cheng like a wolf.
"Sons, live or die, fight here. Sons, kill!! Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but lead the soldiers and horses to this section of the city wall in person. After supervising the battle array, he raised his voice to boost morale, but he didn't know that he had to pay hundreds of casualties before he was finally able to repel the Chu army.
"Invincible, invincible!" Wu Jun couldn't help but start cheering. Seeing this, even though Zhang Shihua was full of unwillingness in his heart, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and let his subordinates take a breath temporarily.
But when it was night, thousands of Chu troops took advantage of the night to launch an attack on Dangtu City.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared for this, and this attack was not only futile, but also caused hundreds of casualties.
……
"Gentlemen, you and the others are the elites of my Great Chu. Now although Zhu Yuanzhang is trapped in a lonely city, he still has to resist stubbornly. But I don't know what the kings can do to break the enemy at this time. ”
There was no progress in the siege of the city for several days, but a lot of soldiers and horses were lost, and Zhang Shihua, who felt that it was tricky, couldn't help but hold a military meeting again in the early morning of this day to ask the sons and daughters under his command for advice.
However, when they heard Zhang Shihua's questioning at this time, the generals looked at each other and were silent for a long time, but none of them could offer Zhang Shihua a good plan to break the city at this time.
After all, these days, they have already used all the methods they can use, but the effect is not great.
"What the Wu thief relies on now is only the city, if this time, the Wu thief can lose this dependence, and the war will be simple."
Seeing that everyone was speechless, the military marshal Zhang Yang couldn't help but say something like this.
And when he heard what he said, Bai Xi, who only felt that Zhang Yang was talking nonsense, couldn't help but glare at him angrily, "What you said is nonsense." Two days ago, we piled up earth and attacked the city, didn't we let the Wu thieves lose the city?
But in the end, the Wu thieves in this city are like crazy, as long as our army piles up earth to attack the city, they will continue to attack day and night, so that our army can not carry out at all. If we continue to use this method now, it is estimated that we will not be able to achieve results in two or three months. ”
"This ...... But so. Hey, if only there was a way to make this painting city wall come to naught. It's a pity that the power of the artillery is still too small, and it can only break a corner of the Dangtu city wall, which can't play a decisive role at all! ”
Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but echo. As a marshal, he has made military exploits, and these days, he has often seen his voice in the military discussion.
However, he never expected this statement, and his unintentional words suddenly made Zhang Shihua excited.
"Hahaha, Yuzhen, Yuzhen, well said, well said. You reminded me this time that this king has a strategy to break the enemy. ”
As if he had thought of something, Zhang Shihua's face was full of joy.
Seeing this, not only Ming Yuzhen, but all the generals in the account couldn't help but feel confused.
But for this, Zhang Shihua didn't care about it at this time. He just looked at Wang Pu on the side and asked, "General Wang Pu, your sons and daughters are troublesome Jiangxi soldiers, so can there be a son from Fuzhou miners?" ”
"This ......" was suddenly named by name, and Wang Pu couldn't help but be a little confused.
But after reacting, Wang Pu still answered truthfully.
"Back to the king's words, there are many Fuzhou miners in the army. There are nearly 2,000 people in the army, and they are all good at fighting. ”
"Okay, that's fine. In this way, this battle can be said to be a foregone conclusion! Zhang Shihua breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the direction of Dangtu City, and finally couldn't help but show a relaxed smile.
