"Rush! The general has an order that whoever climbs the city wall first in this battle will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!! ”

At this time, outside Wuchang City, such sounds are really earth-shattering. In order to seize Wuchang City and open the deadlock, Ni Wenjun couldn't help but write a large amount of blank checks for his subordinates.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Tianwan Army's offensive at this time was really fierce like a storm.

"Participating in politics, the thieves are attacking very fiercely, and I am afraid that this place is a little unsafe. The sword is silent, 'The son of a thousand daughters can't do it' You are here, in case you are injured by a stray arrow...... Why don't you go back to the city and sit in the center to command and dispatch. The battle on the front line will be left to the future. ”

On the wall of Wuchang City, a tall general looked at a thin middle-aged man who looked like a Yuanmeng person, but he couldn't help but say such a thing.

However, hearing his words, this thin middle-aged man from Yuanmeng couldn't help but touch the beard on his chin, shook his head and said, "I, Aluhui, am the main general, and my duty is the most important. Now that the thieves are menacing, how can the commander-in-chief hide in the city and not come out, just let his subordinates take risks!? ”

Such a remark, what Aluhui said can really be described as righteous words.

Therefore, hearing his words, the eyes of the surrounding generals looking at him couldn't help but add a little respect.

And Aluhui smiled at this, but couldn't help touching the beard on his chin, and said again: "Besides, there are tiger warriors such as you guarding me, not to mention this group of rabble thieves in front of me, even if it is among thousands of troops, what is there to fear!?" ”

In the fierce battle between the two armies, Aluhui on the city wall smiled like this, and the whole person had a breezy and indifferent face.

Therefore, seeing him like this, the generals guarding Aluhui's side couldn't help but be infelt, and roared in unison: "If you participate in politics, the generals at the end of this battle will not let the thieves cross our army's defense line by half a step!" ”

……

Time flies like a white horse, fleeting, but in the blink of an eye, twenty days can't help but pass like this.

"Brother, brother. It's time, wake up! ”

"En......" Liu Jie, who fell asleep unconsciously because he was too tired, couldn't help but slowly open his eyes. However, after slowly opening his eyes, he saw a vague figure in front of him, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes violently, and tightly grasped the blade beside him.

"Who!? Is it the black-clad thief attacking again!? With his hands clenched at his blades, he shouted angrily, and with those bloodshot eyes, he looked like a beast at this moment.

"Wow!" Suddenly, seeing Liu Jie putting on such a look, the black shadow on the opposite side couldn't help but be startled by it.

"Brother, don't be nervous, it's me, my own people. It's time to change the guard, and I'm here to change the guard. ”

The month-long fierce fighting has made the people in Jiangxia who are mentally tough, and now they can no longer bear it. So when he saw Liu Jie's appearance, people couldn't help but hurriedly explain.

After all, the accidental injury caused by this kind of thing is not a new thing among the officers and soldiers defending Wuchang City in the past few days.

"I'm here to change the guard." Sure enough, hearing what the person said, Liu Jie's tense nerves couldn't help but relax a little.

"Change the guard, isn't the person who changed the guard with me Lao Qi. What, a substitution? Although the tense nerves relaxed slightly, Liu Jie still couldn't help but question like this.

However, in the past month, the black-clothed army, which has gradually figured out the time for the change of guard between officers and soldiers, has already launched several night attacks on Jiangxia City this month. In this way, Liu Jie can't be cautious.

However, at this time, hearing Liu Jie's question, the person who came couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, you don't know yet, Lao Qi has already gone to ......."

"Go? What, Lao Qi he died!! How is this possible, Lao Qi is obviously in the city today, and he has not fought against the black-clothed thief at all, how can he die, how can he die!! Suddenly, hearing the news of Lao Qi's death, Liu Jie, as a friend, couldn't help but seem a little difficult to accept.

But in this regard, the person who came only sighed, and did not say anything to persuade him.

After all, life and death are really a common thing for these officers and soldiers in the past month.

He believed that this tall man would be able to accept this result in less time.

"Lao Liu, how did he die, and where is the body buried?" Sure enough, it was just the kung fu of the tea, and the man calmed down. They've been through so much of this past month.

"Hey, didn't the black-clad thieves fight us again with their cannons during the day? Lao Qi was unlucky, he happened to be hit by a cannonball that fell into the city, and he went on the spot. After the body was collected, it was buried with the others in a mass grave in the west of the city. ”

Regarding the death of his comrade, the tone of the person who came was very bland.

Hearing the words of the visitor, Liu Jie couldn't help but squeeze out a smile on his face after lowering his head and sighing silently.

"That's fine!" He let out a long sigh, "At least there is a pleasure, I walked simply, and I suffered a lot less!" ”

Saying this, he sighed again, and couldn't help but nod silently at the person who came to change shifts, and left with his blade in his arms.

And looking at Liu Jie's back as he left, the person who came to take over just shook his head and left the matter behind. After all, by the time dawn tomorrow, even he didn't know if he would be able to survive such an endless war.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and so it came to the morning of the second day, that is, the morning of the tenth day of the eleventh month of the fourteenth year of Zhizheng. When the sky was dark, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but discuss the war with the military advisor Zhao Ziyu again.

"My lord, from the ninth day of last month to now, for more than a month, under the continuous attacks of our army, the outer defense line of the Tartars has also been successfully defeated by our army. Now, the enemy's remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses have been transferred into the city by the Tartar general Timur ten days ago.

Therefore, judging from the overall battle situation, the situation at this time can be regarded as a very good form for our army. The Tartars can now only be said to have defensive skills and no power to fight back. In front of a pair of clay-fired sand tables, Zhao Ziyu pointed to the sand table placed on the table, and his tone was extremely confident.

However, hearing his words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "That's right." However, Ziyu, although our army had already gained the upper hand at this time, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Tatar Zitun were stationed in Jiangxia and the remaining soldiers and horses were stationed in Hanyang.

The two cities are across the river, and they help each other. So much so that after ten days, our army has never been able to achieve any substantial results! ”

Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help pinching his eyebrows. Looking at the two cities of Jiangxia and Hanyang on the sand table, his face couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"Hehehehe......" Over there, what Zhang Shihua never expected was that Zhao Ziyu, as a military advisor, couldn't help but chuckle after hearing his words.

"Well, Ziyu, have you come up with a good way to break the game?" Suddenly, seeing Zhao Ziyu laughing, Zhang Shihua was not angry but happy at this time.

Because he knew that Zhao Ziyu must have come up with a good way to break the situation, so he would have such a reaction.

Then, as Zhang Shihua expected. Hearing Zhang Shihua's question, Zhao Ziyu, who was smiling, stepped to the big map behind Zhang Shihua's handsome seat, and pointed at it, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua; "Lord, have you forgotten De'an?"

"Dean!?" Suddenly, hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua first frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, and then his face couldn't help showing a touch of ecstasy.

"Hahahaha, Ziyu's words really made me pause! At this point, in less than a month, Jiangxia must be in my pocket! ”

Yes, Deokan Province is more than 100 miles north of Hanyang, and although this road is not so easy to walk, there is still a waterway between the two places.

Therefore, from the De'an side to the south, it is completely possible to reach the city of Hanyang in four days.

Moreover, in order to prevent the remnants of the Tianwan army stationed on Huangzhou Road from jumping over the wall to attack the black-clothed army, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but send his ten thousand household officials Zhao Yufu to lead more than 7,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in De'an Mansion a few months ago.

Therefore, at this time, the De'an Mansion can completely send 6,000 soldiers and horses to the south.

With 6,000 soldiers and horses, it is obviously impossible to attack a city like Hanyang in normal times. But now, 6,000 soldiers and horses are enough to play a decisive role.

So after thinking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but recruit one of his scout battalion hundred household officials.

"You immediately take someone north now, disguise yourself for me and secretly rush to De'an Mansion. Convey this military order to me to Zhao Yufu, who is stationed in De'an, and within four days, it is necessary to deliver this letter to me. Do you understand? Looking at the hundred household officials who were standing respectfully and bowing their heads under the tent.

Zhang Shihua, who had written the military order with a splash of ink, couldn't help but say to the hundred household officials.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's order, the hundred household officials stretched out their hands and respectfully accepted the military order letter handed by Zhang Shihua, and couldn't help but reply loudly: "The last general understands!" Please rest assured that this letter will be delivered on time. ”

"Yes, that's good!" I heard the hundred household officials say this. Zhang Shihua nodded, and couldn't help waving his hand to let him retreat.

After slowly exiting the camp, Zhang Shihua nodded to Zhao Ziyu beside him, and couldn't help but order to continue to send troops to attack the two cities of Jiangxia and Hanyang. In this way, the morale and courage of the officers and soldiers in the city were consumed.

As soon as the military order was given, the black-clothed sergeants like a tide naturally launched an endless attack on Jiangxia and Hanyang Liancheng as usual.

However, at this time, in Wuchang, hundreds of miles away in the east, Ni Wenjun, who still had no results in the month-long siege battle, couldn't help but be completely wiped out by Aluhui, who didn't have oil and salt.

Therefore, on this day, Ni Wenjun couldn't help but order, gathered all the soldiers and horses under his command, and launched an all-round attack on Wuchang again.

"In this battle, who can lead the troops to attack Wuchang City first. Then all the booty seized in the city shall be divided into two percent. And if you don't do your best to attack the city, you have the heart of self-preservation, and you can't even climb the city wall, then after the war, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Before the war, in order to make his generals do their best, Ni Wenjun couldn't help but say such things.

And such a scene, if it were placed on the side of the Black Army, it would be absolutely unimaginable. However, for the remnants of the Tianwan army, which are full of mountains and factions, Ni Wenjun wants to let his subordinates contribute, but he has to offer enough benefits.

After all, with the decline of the Tianwan regime, Ni Wenjun, the leader of the regime who could only retreat in a small place like Huangzhou Road, had no way to provide his soldiers with sufficient money, food, military salaries, and military supplies.

As the leader of the regime, he does not have enough money, food, and military salaries, and the generals and soldiers under him naturally cannot be loyal. There is no guarantee that the supply of troops will be replenished, and these generals who know that the soldiers and horses under their command are the assets of their own strength, will naturally give birth to the idea of supporting the troops and respecting themselves.

Such as Ming Yuzhen, Chen Youliang, etc., rely on their subordinates to have the status of today's generals. If Ni Wenjun doesn't give them enough benefits and expects to contribute in vain, it is obviously an impossible thing.

However, when Ni Wenjun came up with enough benefits, such as Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang and others, they were still happy to serve.

No, when Ni Wenjun said such a thing, the eyes of Ming Yuzhen, Chen Youliang and others couldn't help but light up.

You must know that Wuchang City is a famous city in the world. The people in the city add up to more than 100,000 people, plus this place is still the fief of King Weishun of the Great Yuan. Judging from the wealth accumulation methods of King Weishun, under the operation of more than 20 years, the wealth accumulated in the palace of Wuchang City must be an unimaginably huge number.

The addition of the two, even if it is only a mere two percent share, is enough to make Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang their hearts moved.

"Please rest assured, the general will go all out at the end of this battle, and I will definitely let the Tartars see how powerful my son is!" Sure enough, under such coercion and temptation, a general of the Tianwan Army who commanded thousands of soldiers and horses under his command was the first to lose his breath and began to show loyalty to Ni Wenjun and him.

At this time, with such a leader, some of the generals around him, who were looking forward to Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang, couldn't help but turn their eyes to the two of them.

And when the two of them felt the burning greedy gaze of their subordinates or allies at this time, these two Tianwan warlords whose strength and ability were all first-class in the Tianwan army, they couldn't help but speak in unison, showing their loyalty to Ni Wenjun.

"The last general will go all out in this battle, and he will not disappoint the general!!"

I only heard them shouting like this, and after a month, the Tianwan army was finally about to start wanting the enemy to show their true strength.
