Chapter 931: The Last Battle
Zhu Youstew was wearing a crown robe and had seen the generals.
Today's weather is hot, and wearing such a tight and thick dress makes him sweat profusely.
Hao Fenglou's letter of peace was not sent to Jinling, but fell into Zhu Youstew's hands.
Originally, when he went out of Beijing, Zhu Youstew was still a little nervous, but now, when he saw this letter, he made up his mind.
People are like this, when they see the other party showing weakness, they can't help but say a few bold words, even if Zhu You stews, obviously it is not exempt from vulgarity, he smiled coldly, tore the letter to shreds before saying: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, who were arrogant and domineering before, can not be a lifetime, but now that I am here in person, it seems that they are frightened." It's just a pity that the imperial court had the heart to open up the net before, but they didn't know what to do, and now I am driving the expedition in person, and in the blink of an eye, this Zhenjiang will be crushed into powder with these thieves, and they want to negotiate peace......"
Zhu Youstew looked full of confidence and continued: "It's just a pity, what I want now is their dog head, how can it be so easy to negotiate peace." ”
He turned around, walked like a tiger, but really had a bit of the momentum of a hero, and immediately said to a few military attaches in the tent: "When can you attack the city?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be a delay of two days......"
"Two days ......" Zhu Youstew couldn't help frowning, looking very dissatisfied: "What are you doing to eat, now that the thieves are in front of you, how can I let them linger, spread my will, we can't delay it any longer, we will attack the city at dawn tomorrow." ”
"Your Majesty......"
Zhu Youwei felt that his majesty had been provoked, which made him very dissatisfied, in the past. In the palace, everything has to rely on the snort of the Empress Dowager Xu. Since then, although he has been in power, he has done many things on his behalf. Now that he is out of this Jinling, it seems that there are people who don't take themselves seriously, so Zhu Youshui sneered: "What, what else do you have to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, go and give the order."
Zhu Youstew's face looked better, and soon, he became excited, no matter what, he was also a man. Although he is the Son of Heaven, he only hears that His Majesty is rich all over the world and has thousands of herdsmen, but he has no concept of how to rule the world, after all, he lives in the small cave of the Forbidden City, and now he is finally out of Beijing, commanding hundreds of thousands of military horses, and his every move has attracted the attention of countless people. This feeling really made him feel comfortable to the core.
Moreover, it seems that most of the Lang Son troops in the city are just paper tigers. When the city was broken, he exterminated the thieves, the people of the world. I'm afraid that I will praise my Wencheng martial arts.
Therefore, he seemed to be in high spirits and looked like he was gearing up. Dressed in golden armor, he hurriedly rode forward to inspect the camp.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Next. It was just past dawn, and the morning fog had not yet dispersed, and the morning light was blocked by the haze, revealing only a little light.
In the quiet Zhenjiang City, there were suddenly sharp whistles.
This is a whistle for the sentinel, and the sound is two long and two short, and it sends only one message - the enemy is attacking the city.
Countless Lang Son soldiers woke up from their sleep, and immediately after, the battalion officers and team officers let out a burst of angry roars: "Assemble, assemble, prepare for battle!" ”
Countless figures were shaking, they did not take off their uniforms when they slept, all their equipment was at their feet, and the assembly of the Lang Son army was known for its swiftness, and it was not long before the battalions returned to their positions and entered their respective battle posts.
Hao Fenglou had already gone up to the city tower, condescendingly through the mist, and looking at the people and horses from afar like dark clouds.
He didn't expect the Ming army to attack the city in such a hurry, because in advance, he predicted that the Ming army should still need some time to rest, but now, they are coming.
This is not bad news for Hao Fenglou, it is better to rush the attack than the other party to come prepared.
The battle began.
First of all, the cannon rumbled, and the artillery under the city began to roar first, Hao Fenglou didn't seem to be nervous about this, the other party hurriedly opened the cannon, it can be seen that the quality of the artillery team is not high, obviously the Ming army is outside the effective range of artillery, this approach seems to be full of power, but in fact it is only limited to intimidation, a few stray bullets did hit the city wall, but did not cause real damage.
The Lang Son army on the city wall waited with bated breath, although a few people were blown away by stray bullets, but everyone was unimpressed.
The Ming army besieging the city finally arrived at a distance of 100 zhang under the city, and at this time, the artillery of the Langshan army finally sounded, with a burst of roar, the rain flew, and instantly tore open a gap in the besieging officers and soldiers, and the men and horses had to disperse to reduce casualties, and then they were greeted by rows of firearms.
They tried to fight back with firearms, but they were extremely reluctant, and the superiority of the Lang Son army and the advanced firecrackers were revealed, and the situation was almost one-sided.
The first Ming army was repulsed, then the second group swarmed forward, and then the third.
The siege lasted a whole morning, and in the morning, the Ming army organized seven sieges, but most of them ended without a hitch.
So as a last resort, they had to fire a few cannons casually, barely blew down a city wall, leaving thousands of corpses, and then withdrew like a tide.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the downstairs was full of desolation.
The invincible Zhu Youstew was watching the battle from a distance, he was full of ambition and triumphant, but after a whole morning, his face changed.
The battle was not what he had imagined, he saw someone hit by a cannonball, and the whole person flew up, but when it fell, only the stump and severed arm remained, and he saw the rain of blood sprinkled into the sky, and then into the mud, and gradually solidified, and he heard someone let out a terrible wail, and the terrible sound of gunfire frightened his face.
For a long time, he didn't say anything, just rode on the horse of the god horse under the seat in a daze, and the war horse was led by a eunuch, this posture, he maintained for two hours.
Zhu Youstew's face was pale, he had never seen such a scene for the first time, he wanted to send out one will after another in high spirits, revealing that he was holding the pearl of wisdom, but from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, he just felt that his mouth was trembling uncontrollably.
When the battle was over, a military attache stepped forward and bowed to the ground, saying, "Humble ...... death." Zhu Youstew came back to his senses, he glanced at the military attache strangely, didn't speak, silently dismounted, and took a team of guards to get up and return to the big tent of the Chinese army, but when he returned to the big tent and drank tea, this made him calm down, and he suddenly became angry.
"Bastard, bastard...... The Langshan thieves in the city were unscathed, but our dignified officers and soldiers were heavily damaged, what are these people doing to eat, waste, they are all a bunch of waste! ”
He was indeed angry, because he suddenly thought that Hao Fenglou must have laughed at himself in the city at this time, which made his self-esteem deeply hurt.
But a eunuch on the side said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the siege of the city has always been like this, the people in the city occupy the advantage, as long as the city is broken, the time will be ......."
"Really?" Zhu Youstew listened, his eyes lit up, and he returned to arrogance, he said viciously: "Starting tomorrow, the city will be attacked from all sides, I want to see if Hao Fenglou has three heads and six arms, I want to take his head, and let him know how powerful I am." ”
His chest heaved and heaved, and he was obviously angry.
For the rest of the day, he didn't go to the camp, and he was either frightened or sulking.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Early the next morning, the siege began again.
The offensive of the Ming army was extremely fierce, they began to attack from all directions, so that the defenders were in danger, Hao Fenglou personally led the reserves, at any time to rush to the aid of various weak places, the battle also lasted for four hours, these four hours, Hao Fenglou was almost exhausted, the whole person was exhausted to the extreme, in the east of the city wall, there was almost a city road changed hands, fortunately, Hao Fenglou with the reserve replenishment in time, so that the Ming army did not take advantage of this to expand the advantage, however, the city wall has many places have begun to appear gaps, This made Hao Fenglou faintly worried.
As for the reconnaissance battalion, there was finally detailed news, and in addition to the deployment of the Ming army, Hao Fenglou was most concerned about one thing.
Zhu Youstew's camp is in Shidu, the Son of Heaven drove the expedition in person, and Hao Fenglou also heard about it, but he didn't confirm it, and now that he knows that this Zhu Youstew is really here, Hao Fenglou squinted and stayed alone in the big tent for more than an hour.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Come here, gather all the generals, and gather here within a stick of incense." ”
Hao Fenglou gave the order, and it didn't take long for the battalion officers to arrive.
And Hao Fenglou showed a relaxed look, looked around, and said slowly: "You guys must be working hard to defend the city, at this time, I should have let you have a good rest, but now, Zhenjiang is in danger, and this palace invites you to come, for only one thing......"
