Chapter 81: Temptation

After killing nearly 100,000 people, the madman of the little prince finally began to be willing to let his elite cavalry dismount and fight on foot, regardless of casualties, to capture the city of Beijing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After continuous hard fighting, the garrison army on the city of Beijing killed tens of thousands of people, but counting most of their own people, the real Tatar head was less than 1,000. But their physical strength and spirit are really consumed, and at this point, except for the 3,000 battalion soldiers who have not been used much, almost all the others have become the end of the crossbow.

"What should I do?" Liu Daxia seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his hair and beard had turned gray, and he looked at the Tatars under the city wall who were stepping on the hard corpses like ants and asked Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren also frowned, the potential of the regular troops had returned to the extreme under his command, if he did not rest, with such a strong attack momentum of the Tatars, he would completely lose his combat effectiveness in two days.

"It doesn't matter, although these Tatars are much more elite than the people, but after getting off the horse, they also can't shoulder the responsibility of attacking the city, and we should be able to hold out for a while." Wang Shouren comforted Liu Daxia and said.

Liu Daxia's brows were still twisted into a Sichuan character, he shook his head and said: "To be honest, Bo'an, I am pessimistic about whether the abbot of the capital can be guarded, of course, it is not that your military talent is not enough. It's just that for such a long time, there has been no arrival of King Qin's army in the capital, and it is really uncertain. ”

"The capital has been besieged and impassable, a few rich families secretly went out of the city a few days ago, and they have been beheaded by Tatar rangers, no matter what, we have to defend it!" Wang Shouren gritted his teeth and said, he has seen too many deaths these days, and even he has gone into battle and killed many people.

Even Zhang Yi, who has never been looked down upon, has gained the respect of the whole city after a series of hard battles.

"Bo'an, after the city is broken, it is estimated that a slaughter of the city will not be avoided. Take pity on the wives and children of our countless officials...... Alas! When the city is broken, it is the time when the old decay will die! ”

"Lord Liu, Bo'an will never let Beijing City fall under the butcher's knife of the grassland barbarians!" Wang Shouren hurriedly expressed his position.

"It's good that you have this heart." Liu Daxia smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the emperor is no longer in Beijing at this time, if you have a choice of which one escapes, please hand over these things to the emperor." ”

With this, he took out a large scroll from his bosom.

Wang Shouren stopped talking and said in surprise: "Lord Liu, do you know that the emperor is not in Beijing?" What is it? ”

"Guess!" Liu Daxia laughed: "The chart that Zheng He drew when he went to the West is a copy I copied before the big one was burned, although it is not as delicate as the big one, but there are still things that should be there." ”

Wang Shouren was surprised: "In this way, the pattern of the sea ship back then ......"

"I also keep those, they are all weapons of the country, how can I destroy them." Liu Daxia coughed twice, it was obvious that the hard work for so long had made the old man's body a little unsupportable: "I put it in a very secret place, if you have the opportunity, help me take it out and give it to the emperor." ”

Wang Shouren gently patted Liu Daxia's back to help him calm down, and said, "My lord, you should give the things to the emperor yourself." ”

He took two steps forward, stood straight in front of Liu Daxia, and smiled in the face of the Tatars who were swarming under the city: "Although we only have tens of thousands of troops, there are millions of people behind us, Wang Shouren swears here, even if the battle is full of dry bones, I will not die, this city will not be broken!" ”

At this moment, Liu Daxia really felt that he was old, probably Yu Qian, who was standing alone on the tower of Beijing, also had such thoughts. Bo'an, your luck is much better than Yu Qian's, after this battle, if you don't die, you will be famous all over the world!

"Kill!" The sound of fighting is back.

Wang Shouren shouted highly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, don't let one of the grassland barbarians appear on the city wall!" ”

In the sky, crows roared like angry tides.

――――――――――――――――――――

Yu Dayou did not evacuate to the south bank of the Yellow River after a sneak attack on the Tatar army as previously agreed, but left traces everywhere and tried his best to hold back the Tatars.

If you want to win a local war, you need the right time, place, and people, and all three are indispensable, and if this local war has a decisive effect on the entire war situation, then there is a great chance that tactics will be upgraded into strategy.

It is a pity that Zhu Houzhao's next battle, which can only be called a local war in terms of the strategic layout of the area north of the Yellow River, is destined to have little impact on the entire war situation.

At this time, the autumn flood has passed, and it is impossible to have continuous heavy rain in the arid north.

The soldiers of Yiwu in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang have always been in groups, and they have been trained by Zhu Houzhao, and they are not far behind the Qi family army that came later in terms of military discipline.

The time and place are favorable, only the location is lacking!

But Dili Zhu Houzhao also found it.

The alluvial plain formed by the flooding on both sides of the Yellow River for many years is soft and fertile, but at the same time, the river is destined to be extremely easy to divert.

So, after this autumn flood, the diversioned Yellow River left a large area of fertile soil, soft enough to sink into the horseshoe!

"March quickly, and then march ten miles forward and set up camp!" As he got closer and closer to the Yellow River, the ground under his feet became softer and softer, so much so that Zhu Houzhao had to dismount and lead his horse.

After that, the horse's hooves sink half a foot deep as soon as they step in.

Zhu Hou took care of the surrounding plain, which was so vast that only a few shrubs grew, and ordered: "Half a mile further forward, immediately set up camp and build a position!" ”

Yu Dayou looked up at the sky, and the shadow of the sun was already in the middle.

He pursed his chapped lips from a dry cough and asked the soldier who followed him, "How many guys are there?" ”

"Everything that can be used has been used, and now all the guys on the brothers have less than two hundred iron cucumbers left in addition to the steel knife!" Immediately, a military secretary replied.

Now in Zhu Houzhao's army, there will inevitably be such a secretary, who will specifically count how many materials are left, and the way to lead the army is not fierce, but fine.

"Well, from now on, rest for half an hour." Yu Dayou looked up at the sun again, and he was dizzy in the bright light: "Fifty miles ahead, our glimmer of life, after resting, let's go all out!" ”

――――――――――――――――

The Tatar commander who was responsible for cleaning up the north bank of the Yellow River was named Turtu, one of the most capable generals under the little prince, and the 10,000-man cavalry under his command was not an ordinary Tatar cavalry, but one of the most elite royal tent cavalry under the command of the little prince.

This steppe general in the prime of life looked at the miserable appearance of several of the most unsuccessful cavalry under his command, and there was still no anger on his face like a knife and axe, and he said in a stiff voice: "Being teased like this by hundreds of people is really a shame for me to be in the face of Tuertu, and you will act as a vanguard for a while, and if you can't cut off the head of a dog with three thousand minutes, don't come back to see me." ”
