When Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the south side of the city tower, received the news from Xu Da's order, he had already heard a different situation from the past through the shouting and killing sound coming from the south city wall.

Later, when he heard the news from the herald, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened.

He still knows about Xu Da.

On the battlefield, he definitely does not exaggerate.

Since he said that the number of troops will be more than doubled, it will never be less than that.

Thinking that Xu Da was currently able to mobilize less than 5,000 troops, he immediately ordered: "Mobilize 3,000 spare troops in the city to rush to Xicheng!" ”

"Yes!"

A soldier leaves to give the order.

And to the east, a soldier also came: "Marshal, General Tang asked his subordinates to tell you that the Yuan army is preparing to attack the city, and the number is roughly the same as before, but this time the offensive is much stronger, I am afraid that it will be a death battle." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Tell Tang He, don't be careless, and defend the city tower at all costs!" ”

"Yes!"

There were Yuan troops attacking on both sides of the west and east, but the difference in strength was doubled, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was the beginning of the move.

With a straight face, Zhu Yuanzhang had long been fed up with the feeling of being cut by a blunt knife.

Now that he is ready to officially start fighting, it has made Zhu Yuanzhang a little easier.

"Toto, I want to see how high your means are!"

At this time, although Zhu Yuanzhang was still just a marshal of the righteous army who had not been out of Haozhou City for a long time, he was not the Emperor Zhu who would dominate the country in the future.

Naturally, this ability to manage the army and lead the army is not as skilled as it will be in the future.

Not even a real big battle has been fought.

But at this moment, even if he was facing Totok, the prime minister of the court, he was not afraid at all, but he was a little high-spirited, even if he hadn't slept for two days and two nights......

Although the outcome after defeat will be very disastrous.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still has an unstoppable fighting spirit!

As the east and west sides of Huanggang City were attacked by the Yuan army, the attack from the south also followed.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, a lighting arrow was shot out.

With the brightness of the entire plain ahead, the dense soldiers immediately appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

With such a brief observation, Zhu Yuanzhang dared to be sure that the number of people must have exceeded 20,000!

Without any hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered: "Fifty breaths, shoot all the arrows in your hands for me later!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that the decisive battle had begun.

If these arrows are not fired, they will never be used again.

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone counted silently in their hearts.

And below the city, countless Yuan army soldiers were rapidly approaching the city.

As the last number in his heart was counted, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted: "Shoot!" ”

Order.

Dense barrage of arrows shot from the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers.

In a short period of time, a rain of arrows was formed.

Like raindrops, it swept towards the Yuan army.

For ten minutes, the arrows of the rebels continued for ten minutes as if they were worthless.

In the dark night, although Zhu Yuanzhang and the others couldn't see the situation below, the soldiers below couldn't see the situation above.

The arrow shot in the air and looked like it was gone.

There's no way to hide.

At this time, under the south gate of Huanggang City, a full 30,000 troops were actually gathered.

Not because of the lack of troops, but because the space outside the southern gate of Huanggang City can accommodate more than 30,000 people at most.

No matter how much it is, it doesn't make any sense.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang still waited for fifty breaths when he saw that the Yuan army had already moved was to wait for the Yuan army to completely enter the range of archers.

Don't just quit and come back when you see the bow and arrow of the rebels.

And at this moment, the Yuan army, which was completely unable to quickly withdraw from the range of bows and arrows, was dying all the time under this round of bow and arrow attacks.

Under the entire Huanggang City, it is like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

But in the face of such a situation, Tokhtar didn't care at all.

He was sure that there would not be too many bows and arrows left for the rebels in the city.

While the soldiers in the rear rushed in, the soldiers in front could only rush forward.

At the same time, like the west of the city, all kinds of siege tools are also equipped, and catapults, fireballs, and stones are constantly being thrown inside the city.

Many civilians and soldiers were also killed by these attacks.

The fighting in the southern city was the fiercest, and the number of people was very large.

In the darkness, some ladders were quietly erected, and the soldiers in the city did not notice or see for a moment.

But when the soldiers came out, they were greeted with sharp knives.

"Dashuai, the bow and arrow are gone!"

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted: "Use a ballista!" ”

"Throw oil down to me! I want to see the whole city down! ”

As Zhu Yuanzhang's order was issued, the soldiers beside him immediately began to execute.

From beginning to end, under Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, the ballista has not been exposed.

The reason is very simple, he just wants to take it out suddenly when the other party is preparing to fight to the death, and he may be able to exert a decisive effect.

Not only them, but Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately sent someone to notify the east and west of the city.

Now that the ballista is about to be exposed, let's just come together and maximize the effect!

Along with the city wall, a gate was pushed open.

The big guy Ballista has finally shown itself on the battlefield.

Under the inclination of the soldier's manpower, the ballista's exit began to adjust.

Just when the soldiers were about to launch, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, stopped the soldiers who were about to move, and then ordered an archer to aim a lighting arrow at the deepest part of the Yuan army, and said: "Shoot as far as you can, I don't want you to kill, I just need to see the situation at the farthest distance." ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the soldier immediately pulled his bow and arrows, and the bowstring was pulled to the maximum.

Sou!

The illuminated arrow slashed through the air in a maximum arc.

After crossing the highest point, it begins to fall towards the distance.

Then, the fireworks exploded and the light shone brightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who saw this scene, had a gleam in his eyes, and pulled the soldiers pushing the ballistas next to him and said, "Do you see it, aim it at their command platform!" ”

The soldier understood and constantly adjusted the direction and angle of the ballista.

Although the maximum power distance of the ballista is only more than 800 meters, the maximum range is more than 1,500 meters!

On the contrary, the archers' maximum range was only about 300 meters, so the command platform of the Yuan army had already been opened to a thousand meters away from Huanggang City for safety.

For the war of this era, it is basically enough.

However, this distance is still within the range of the ballista!

"Alright?"

"That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed and said, "Shoot me!! ”
