On the city tower, Zhu Yuanzhang first heard a loud noise, and then saw countless Yuan troops began to attack the city gate.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang understood something.

The gates are broken!

But this sudden change did not make Zhu Yuanzhang panic.

He looked at the more and more Yuan soldiers who were gathering more and more, and his eyes narrowed.

"Come on, fetch the oil!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, countless fireoil began to be sprinkled towards the city gates.

Just as the Yuan soldiers below were shocked what this was, a rocket followed.

Continuous flames ignited from the bodies of these Yuan soldiers.

The flames kept spreading.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the painful roars of those Yuan soldiers.

Coupled with the fact that these soldiers were rolling on the ground, it quickly caused chaos at the city gates.

The crisis of the Yuan army's breakthrough of the city gate was temporarily suppressed, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that this was only temporary.

It is impossible to burn all the time, and they don't have that much oil.

Not only at the city gate, but with the loss of the city gate, the military morale of the soldiers on the city tower is also shaking.

While guarding the city, the soldiers will pay attention to the situation at the city gate from time to time.

I was afraid that a group of Yuan troops would suddenly appear behind me.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the army of the Yuan army also stepped up the speed of the siege.

Seeing that the situation in front of him was gradually out of control, and it was not at all that he could reverse it with the strength of one person, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered all the remaining reserve troops in the city to mobilize 10,000 people to reinforce the southern city gate.

The loss of the city gate is already an ironclad fact, and it can be delayed for as long as it wants.

In order not to spread the decline to the entire Huanggang City because of the loss of the city gate, Zhu Yuanzhang could only take this step and use the reserve soldiers and the Yuan army that poured in at the city gate to kill.

Swore to keep them out of the city gates.

At this moment, it is not only Zhu Yuanzhang who is in a difficult situation, Tang He in the east can still rely on 5,000 soldiers to defend the attack of 10,000 people on the other side.

But Xu Da in the west is 8,000 people facing 20,000!

The east side is a feint and there is no offensive pressure.

But the west is a real fight!

However, through the analysis of the battlefield, Xu Da still clearly understood that the south gate was the key to the opponent's siege at this moment.

So he gritted his teeth all the time and didn't ask Zhu Yuanzhang for help.

But at this moment, as the soldiers around him lay down one by one, in order to avoid the loss of the city wall, Xu Da could only send a request for help to Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate, and directly sent the last more than 5,000 soldiers in the city to the west.

The situation is crisis enough that there is no point in continuing to hold back.

With more than 10,000 troops thrown into the battle, the situation soon tilted again on the side of the rebels.

Although the number of troops dispatched by the rebel army was not as large as that invested by the Yuan army, the rebel army had the advantage of defending the city after all.

45,000 troops, in the face of the 60,000 troops of the Yuan army, the momentum of the Yuan army quickly stopped, and there were signs of defeat.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who saw this scene, had the heart to directly send someone to countercharge.

Maybe they can directly disperse the enemy's battalion.

But in the end, I still controlled the impulse in my heart.

In the rear of the Yuan army, there was an army of nearly 90,000.

They are there, the basic plate of the Yuan army is there, even if the 60,000 troops on the front line die, there will be no problem.

At the same time, he also firmly remembered the content of the letter that Qi Heng gave him.

It's just that I'm still a little anxious in my heart.

Today's advantage is only temporary, with the reinforcement of the Yuan army, or other back-up hands, they will immediately turn into a decline, and even now there is no reserve available, which is equivalent to no cards to play.

You can only watch each other shoot.

With the battle situation on the front line, it was introduced into the Yuan army camp little by little.

Tokhtar listened to the report of the soldiers in front of him, and when he heard that the soldiers on the front line were forced back by the rebels in the city, Tokhtar immediately burst out laughing.

Just when everyone was wondering why Tokhtar was still laughing, Tokhtar suddenly got up and shouted to the many generals and soldiers around him: "Everyone, the rebels in Huanggang City have exhausted their strength, tell the soldiers, continue to attack the city, before dawn, the rebels will be defeated!" ”

As he spoke, he said to the herald beside him: "Go, pass on my military order, and order the 20,000 troops ambushed in the north of the city to attack!" ”

"In addition, send another 30,000 troops to the west of the city, attack from all sides, and take Huanggang City in one fell swoop!"

Hearing of Tokhtar's arrangement, the herald immediately got up and left.

And the many generals in the field only then heard his final arrangement from the words that blurted out.

With the deployment of the Yuan army, the situation in Huanggang City has reached the last moment of collapse.

When Chang Yuchun in the north of the city came with the news that the 20,000 yuan army was attacking the city with all its might, Zhu Yuanzhang at the head of the city instantly understood that he would be defeated tonight and Huanggang City would be broken.

At the same time, there was also news from Xu Da's side that no less than 30,000 troops were attacking the west of the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was gloomy.

He lost.

The means of detachment have driven him into a desperate situation.

Now, in such a situation, it is no longer possible to make up for it by deploying troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Yuan army camp in the distance.

He whispered, "Engong, let's do our best......"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer hoped for Qi Heng's sudden appearance to change the situation.

In his view, in the face of today's situation, it is no longer humanly possible.

Even if they have 10,000 more cavalry out of thin air at this moment and raid the large camp that has escaped, it will not make any changes to the overall situation.

Therefore, at this moment, he is already beginning to think about how to send those brothers around him out of the city.

As soon as Huanggang City is broken, the entire Huaixi region will completely fall into the hands of Tokhtar.

And with the momentum of the Yuan army, it is only a matter of time before the entire territory of Anhui is taken over.

Now the only reliance of the rebel army is Jinling City, which Qi Heng has taken.

But if you only rely on the 20,000 elite soldiers under Qi Heng, you can still rely on the high walls of Jinling City to defend it in a short time.

But after a long time, especially with the fall of the whole territory of Anhui.

will inevitably present a situation of being trapped around the Yuan army.

If there is still his brothers around to help, maybe there will be a turning point in the future.

Moreover, whether it is for the handsome or their eldest brother, Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to see them buried with him in this Huanggang City.

Including his wife, Ma Xiuying, and the young Zhu Biao.

Inside the Yuan army camp.

Qi Heng, who was hidden in the darkness, felt the Yuan army that was constantly moving around him, and his heart was like a mirror.

The only possibility for the Yuan army to mobilize the overall situation at this time is that it is time to completely take Huanggang City.

Judging from the style of detachment in the past, he is definitely an old and steady.

Being able to make him suddenly mobilize tens of thousands of people to attack, it can be seen that the victory or defeat under Huanggang City has been decided.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng's heart became even more urgent.

But now it's still waiting.

Wait for someone to arrive.

Or rather, wait for a message.

Little by little, time passed.

Every minute and every second that has passed now is a torment for Qi Heng.

Because he knew that every minute that passed, every second that passed, there would be an unknown number of rebel brothers who died.

And if the casualties of the rebels in Huanggang City were too large, then even if his plan succeeded, it would be useless and could not reverse the situation.

Just when the nerves in Qi Heng's body tensed up and waited.

A figure burst in.

"My lord, it's done!"

Hearing this, Qi Heng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He pinched Zheng Guangzu's shoulder in front of him and said, "If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, it's up to you." ”

Zheng Guangzu nodded firmly and turned to leave.

Qi Heng, who stayed in place, glanced at Mu Ying beside him, as well as the six thousand soldiers hidden in the darkness, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Moment.

Figures swayed in the dark.

The sound of subtle footsteps is unusually noticeable due to the large number of people.

But in such a chaotic situation now, such a little movement could not cause a trace of waves in the Yuan army camp at all.

Coming to the outside of the Chinese army camp where Tokh was located, Qi Heng raised his hand.

Everything behind him quickly fell silent.

In the distance, bursts of shouts and killings were still coming.

At the head of Huanggang City, there are still soldiers of the righteous army who are defending it.
