Chapter 656: Preemptive Strike
The rebels outside the Desheng Gate were almost stunned when they found that the bright yellow figure was refracting the dazzling sunlight and standing high on the lookout platform at the head of the wall.
Just now, the sky was full of fireworks, and the drums shook the sky, saying that the new emperor had ascended the throne, and they subconsciously lined up to approach, wanting to give the soldiers in the city a sense of oppression, but they didn't expect that the new emperor himself was still standing in front of them.
And then Zhu Chengyi gave an order, which made them even more dumbfounded.
On the city wall of Deshengmen, at the same time, nearly 100,000 "10,000 enemies" were thrown by trebuchets into the rebels who had not yet received combat preparations.
The so-called "10,000 enemies" are large-scale explosive and incendiary weapons with muddy skin and gunpowder filled inside, each with a full weight of 80 catties, which are generally used to defend the city.
In the past few days, the hundreds of pieces that the Ordnance Institute had produced day and night were thrown out in one go.
Outside the Desheng Gate, the instant movement shook the sky, and the crying was endless.
Last night, in order to prevent the Yan'an army from suddenly moving south, the rebels especially increased the defense of Deshengmen, which was closest to the Yan'an army, and more than 20,000 people were laid here.
And Zhu Chengyi also plans to use more than 20,000 people to open the knife and give a heavy blow first.
The incident happened suddenly, and the rebels outside Deshengmen were still waiting for instructions from their superiors, and they were completely ill-prepared.
When the surprise attack came, the original neat anti-army army was suddenly in chaos, and the burning people were running around.
Zhu Chengyi waved his hand again, and a dense crowd of shooters suddenly appeared on the city wall of Deshengmen, they were already in place, waiting for this moment.
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the anti-army ranks were even more scattered.
The team leader over there saw that the situation was not good, and just issued a military order to retreat three miles, but he didn't know that the door of Desheng was wide open.
More than 100 set fire ox carts rushed out like crazy, completely dispersing the rebel ranks and causing continuous riots. At the same time, the rain of arrows on the walls of the city wall never stopped.
Round after round, no matter how many anti-military means there are, there is no time to exert them. Only then did the team leader react, Jingzhong was only afraid that most of the elite soldiers would be used in Deshengmen, that is, to take advantage of their unpreparedness, take advantage of their main general's absence, and take advantage of their main force to fight a preemptive strike!
Holding clairvoyance, Zhu Chengyi, who was conspicuous and bright, also saw from afar that in the north, the Yan'an army was approaching. And the distance between the light cavalry team at the front of the Yan'an Army and Deshengmen...... At most, it is twenty or thirty miles.
He chuckled.
Obviously, before dawn, Dad's army was already approaching in the dark. Old man, when the two of them came back from Fangyin Yuanfei, they should have beaten their abacus with a bang.
In terms of time, the pinch is very good, and the tacit understanding between him and his father is good!
Commander Liu came to report that Zhu Yonghao would take at least a quarter of an hour to arrive with the main force of the anti-army outside Dongzhimen. It was also reported that several other rebels were also rushing to Deshengmen.
A quarter of an hour?
Let's see how much you can reap in a quarter of an hour!
Zhu Chengyi raised his hand again and drank.
The rain of arrows on the city wall stopped instantly, and the Desheng Gate opened again.
The main force of the 20,000 forbidden army that had been waiting for a long time was ready to go, waiting for this moment, they were magnificent, shouting and killing, pouring out like a tide. The momentum spread out violently, and the mountains shook a little.
Coupled with the war drums that sounded at the same time, it suppressed the opposition psychologically.
And the rebels in front of the city gate who were being overwhelmed by the explosion and fire and the ox cart had already been in chaos, and many people couldn't even find weapons in the turmoil.
On the contrary, the 20,000 forbidden army had already been divided into twenty groups, and each group leader had just received their own orders at the city wall, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they took their own members to form a small encirclement and launched a siege towards the area they had been eyeing for a long time. Resolutely do not let the opposing team have another chance to merge......
Zhu Chengyi had already conveyed the order to them: in a quarter of an hour, use their greatest strength to harvest human heads and defend their homeland......
Preemptive assault warfare is the best way for Zhu Chengyi to think about it, and to pay the least price.
Only by catching the opponent off guard can the opponent not be able to give full play to the advantages of siege firearms.
At this moment, dozens of artillery pieces in front of Desheng Gate, as well as the Divine Fire Flying Crow that Yin Yuan said, no matter how powerful these firearms that the anti-army had prepared a long time ago, they were just as useless, had no time, and had no chance to play an effective role.
Today, he wants Zhu Yonghao and Zhu Henghe to bring their firearms and collectively dumb fire! Let Zhu Yonghao spend all his time exhausted......
The drums of Shengmen did not stop, and Zhu Chengyi even released the news everywhere: Deshengmen has been opened, and the defenders are attacking with all their might, vowing to share the victory and defeat with the rebels! ……
In this way, why worry that Zhu Yonghao will not transfer most of his troops?
……
The rebels outside the Desheng Gate had neither morale, nor the superiority in numbers and firearms, and showed a rout after only a few hundred breaths.
The leader began to shout back, but the encirclement of the forbidden army became more and more courageous, where could they easily get their way.
The battle was one-sided, and news came from Andingmen that the anti-army reinforcements had arrived in front of Andingmen, and the defenders were intercepting them with a rain of arrows to delay time.
Zhu Chengyi looked at the clairvoyance, and estimated that it would take at least half an hour or so for Yan Anjun to arrive.
He waved his hand again.
As soon as the banner of the city wall waved, the defenders retracted the offensive violently, and there was no more fighting.
The military order was delivered, and the defenders' goals suddenly changed, and they began to force the weapons and horses of the rebels with all their might.
In front of their lives and supplies, the rebels quickly chose to flee and join up with their main army, while the defenders seized the last half of the tea time to collect supplies.
All the artillery pieces were captured, and the Divine Fire Crow was also transported away.
Hundreds of breaths later, when the main force of the rebels was about to arrive, and when they saw Desheng Gate from afar, the only corpse left in front of the city gate was a place......
At this moment, King Yan'an, who was taking light horses to ten miles away, temporarily stopped his horse. He thought that his son was going to fight with him, but he knew that he was about to reach the place, but the Desheng Gate had been slowly closed......
"Stinky boy!" This is to force yourself to contain the rebels.
He cursed in a low voice, but with a smile on his face......
Zhu Yonghao was simply mad.
What do you mean? Hit it and run?
"Zhu Chengyi, you are a bitch!" Didn't you say that you would win or lose? This is the first decision this guy made to the outside world after he ascended the throne? Swindler! Swindler!
Zhu Yonghao took it seriously, the new official took office and there were still three fires, he thought that Zhu Chengyi was the new emperor, and he really planned to fight! Therefore, when the observer came to report that the Yan'an army was dozens of miles away from here, and it would take a lot of time for the main force to come, he used the fastest speed and dispatched a large number of people to rush to support......
Who knows, the other party ran away!
No matter how you look at it, he was shabu-shabu.
Zhu Yonghao shouted near the city gate.
But there was no reaction from the side of the Kede Shengmen, but it seemed that he was so ridiculous.
For a while, Zhu Yonghao didn't know whether to take advantage of the fact that the Yan'an army had not arrived, attack the city first and give some color, Zhu Chengyi looked, or take advantage of the fatigue of the Yan'an army to take the initiative to attack and repel the Yan'an people first......
He was so angry that his teeth hurt and he hated so much that he had a headache.
And Zhu Henghe, who arrived later, counted the losses and found that Zhu Chengyi's sneak attack caused him to lose more than 10,000 troops, and he was distressed.
For the first time, Zhu Henghe completely denied Zhu Yonghao's two plans and said no strongly.
The two policymakers were at odds.
