Chapter 282: The Conqueror of the City, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty
In fact, Zhu Yunxi did not fall asleep.
The war was approaching, and no one wanted to sleep.
If it weren't for the generals in the army who constantly patrolled the camp and urged them to speak, the officers and soldiers of the Taisun Department would not even be willing to close their eyes.
However, as long as people close their eyes and rush for days, they still fall asleep after all.
Wait until the sun goes down and it gets late.
The smell of incense slowly wafted through the camp.
The fireheads held large iron spoons and knocked on the lid of the pot, making a clattering sound.
"It's time to eat!"
"You rotten cowards who go straight to your mother, get up for Lao Tzu!"
Most of the people who cook rice can't be messed with.
Even the sound of knocking on the lid of the iron pot was outside the camp tent, and the officers and soldiers in the tent could only curse in a low voice twice, and when they walked out of the camp tent, they asked with flattery on their faces whether they could eat more and two more pieces of meat for the meal before the siege tonight.
The fire-headed soldiers raised their eyebrows, raised their heads, and squinted at the officers and soldiers who were questioning.
"Eat so much, you eggless people can climb the wall?"
"No meat to eat! When you enter the city, you are going to eat grandpa, and grandpa washes himself and jumps into the oil pot!"
In the shouting and scolding of the fireheads, the entire camp was left with the sound of constantly pulling food.
On the west side of Daluo City, Zhu Quan, the forward battalion of the Chinese army of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Behind Zhu Quan, who was dressed in military uniform, the 5,000 soldiers of the forward battalion were also eating dinner before the battle.
Zhu Quan led several generals and personal soldiers in the battalion, and after looking at the head of Daluo City, he turned to the Taisun Department in the south of the city.
"It's already time to eat over there."
The adjutant general immediately replied, "A quarter of an hour ago, someone came from Taisun's side, and dinner has already begun."
Zhu Quan nodded, and a trip to the south made this clan nobleman have the demeanor of a border general: "After the war, you lead two thousand men and horses to feint to attack the western city wall. The remaining 3,000 are under my command, and I will respond to the grandson at any time."
The lieutenant general dare not obey, these are the established siege strategies.
Zhu Quan, who had arranged tonight's siege battle, let out a long breath.
He hoped that he could become like the fourth brother soon, and he could take charge of Da Ming alone, but he also understood that tonight's battle was something that Chang Sheng would never allow others to interfere in.
On the north bank of the Red River, the Chinese army of the Southern Expedition has also begun to eat.
Chang Sheng also stood on the high ground by the river, leading the generals in the army to look at Daluo City.
Because of the obstruction of Daluo City, Zhu Yunxi's department in the south could not see it.
At this moment, on the edge of the Red River under the high ground, the first batch of officers and soldiers who had eaten were already putting huge wooden boxes into the water.
Because it is a plain, the Red River outside Daluo City is not deep and turbulent.
The huge wooden box, which could accommodate five people in parallel, sank into the water and floated. Then the officers and soldiers went down into the water before the wooden boxes sank to the bottom of the river, drove thick wooden stakes into the riverbed, and tied them together with the wooden boxes.
The officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Division, only the infantry besieging the city crossed the river.
The cavalry was almost all in Zhu Quan's camp, and artillery and the like only needed to fire across the river. The wooden chest, which could not sink to the bottom of the water, was enough for the army to cross the river and complete the task of capturing Daluo City. ….
The adjutant general saw that the general had never spoken.
After thinking about it, he found a topic: "After this battle, Jiaozhi Road and Ping, after our army rests and takes turns, we will continue to move south. I heard that Thanh Hoa City is well governed by the Taisun, and those merchants have begun to move in, mining timber and spices in the mountains and forests to the west, and looking for gems and mineral deposits."
Chang Sheng's face was not obvious, so that people couldn't see his heart, but said calmly: "Qinghua City is near the sea, if it is connected with Changhua, Jiaozhi Dao should be headed by Qinghua City."
The lieutenant said, "Behind the mountains to the west, there are indeed countless flat and fertile lands."
After all that, vice
Jiang Pan looked at Chang Sheng silently.
He is also a noble military general of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wants to replace the fields of the Central Plains with the Jiaozhi Road.
Chang Sheng finally moved, and looked back at the deputy general and the other generals around him.
"Three or five years of work, pacifying the south, and rebuilding a land south of the Yangtze River, you and I are all heroes of the country."
The generals immediately shouted in unison: "All are Your Majesty's sage, the country's benevolence, and the general's domination."
Chang Sheng was indifferent, and suddenly pointed to Da Luocheng: "After the city is broken, Chen Yuandan will be captured for Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai wants to see him."
The generals hesitated for a moment, then nodded their heads in agreement.
Chen Yuandan is the commander of Da Luo City, but it is not Er'er, since the general wants to see him, the army will naturally be able to capture him in front of the general's seat.
……
"Those who climb the city wall for the first time will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the official will be promoted to the third rank."
"Uncle Hou, it's all tonight."
"After the war, Lone personally asked for credit for your performance!"
"When I return to Beijing, I will be applauded by the people of the city."
Daluo City is not a fortified city, but it is not so easy to capture.
For the first time, Zhu Yunxi roared in front of the army to inspire the officers and soldiers under his command.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Great Ming Wansheng!"
The sky shook, and the defenders on Daluo City were in a hurry.
The Ming army is about to attack the city.
A sense of oppression instantly filled the defenders on the entire section of the city wall, and in an instant, drums were beating everywhere, and after a few moments, the city was lit up by countless torches.
As the most stubborn of the five generals in Daluo City, who had no possibility of surrender, they all went to various sections of the southern city wall.
Be with the city, although there is no regret in death.
There are people like Chen Qiong who surrendered, and naturally there are also these people who swore not to surrender.
In front of Daluo Castle.
The Ming army has already moved.
Zhu Gao, who was wearing heavy armor, was eager to try, but was held by a hand reaching out from behind.
Then, he saw Zhu Shangbing, who had already put down his armor, snorted coldly.
"You stay here, except for the artillery that swept the formation, the rest are all aimed at one point, and they will be bombarded by Lao Tzu!"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunxi, who had already pulled out the long knife, and had to nod, and then clasped Zhu Shangbing's shoulder with his backhand: "Take care of Brother Xi."
Zhu Shangbing laughed: "A certain family will be the first to climb the city wall today and open a way for Brother Xi!"
Then, Zhu Shangbing left Zhu Gaochi with a good-looking back, and heroically led the soldiers and horses towards Daluo City.
Rumble.
There was a loud bang, with a dazzling burst of firelight, piercing and illuminating the night sky south of Daluo City. ….
I saw a red fireball, running straight towards Daluo City.
There was another loud bang.
Daluo City seemed to shake at night, and on the city wall not far from the city gate, bricks and stones were splashed, and there was a burst of exclamations.
Then, all the artillery pieces that came from Zhu Quan roared in unison.
Countless cannonballs, like falling stars, crossed the heads of the Ming officers and soldiers who were under the escort of the shield soldiers, pressed towards the heads of the officers and soldiers of Daluo City, and rushed to the city wall of Daluo City.
The artillery at this time was not accurate.
The general direction of aiming and where it will fall, no one can say.
However, countless cannons fired in unison, and most of the shells fell on the city wall after all.
The defenders, who had already drawn their bows and arrows, shot the arrows in their hands in a hurry in panic, and fell to the ground outside the city with a soft click.
After rushing to the front of the city wall three miles first, Zhu Yunxi's armor heard a few metal crashing sounds.
"Shoot the fire gun upward, and press the people on the city wall for Lao Tzu!"
"The shield soldier resisted, and the ladder followed!"
Generals scattered throughout the army
We, constantly reminding the officers and soldiers under their command what they should do.
Arranged on the left side of Zhu Yunxi, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Cao Zhen, and Zhang Wen on the right, the two of them always took the officers and soldiers under their command and focused their attention on the city wall in front of Taisun.
The siege is boring and tedious, and the defense is still there.
Before the advent of absolute weapons, the means of siege and defense were mostly the same.
Both sides are filling it with their lives.
In the end, it became a matter of which side had more people, more materials, and higher morale.
Zhu Shangbing, who rushed to the front, held a shield in one hand and smashed through the stones falling from the city wall, and kept waving the long knife in his hand with the other hand to cut down the bow and arrows shot down from the city wall.
"Go up to the wall!"
Under the walls of Daluo City, there was a constant roar, making it impossible to hear what the people around him were saying.
Countless ladders, escorted by officers and soldiers, hooked the wall.
In front of Zhu Shangbing, three cloud ladders were placed side by side.
Under the ladder, countless officers and soldiers holding shields in their hands stood against the stones and arrows that were constantly falling from the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi and can't feel the existence of his left arm.
The shield in his hand has cracked.
And Zhu Shangbing's roar came into his ears.
Cutting off an arrow feather that was running towards him, Zhu Yunxi quickly glanced left and right.
The Ming army had already begun to climb the city wall through the ladder, and under the encouragement of the third rank of the official, everyone used all their skills.
Staying any longer, Zhu Yunxi withstood the attack on the head of the city, and finally rushed to the city wall with people to join Zhu Shangbing.
"Go up to the wall."
"I'm right next to you!"
Without more time to elaborate, Zhu Shangbing grabbed Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and the two of them walked to the front of the ladder through the opening left by the shield soldiers under the ladder.
There was already a group of jumpers in front of them ready to climb the ladder.
After seeing Zhu Yunxi rushing over, the officers and soldiers of this group immediately climbed the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi was in the center, Zhu Shangbing was on one side, and on the other side there was also a personal soldier holding a shield.
"Ascend to the city!" ….
An arrow slashed across the edge of the shield and nailed to the ground between Zhu Yunxi's neck and shoulders.
Zhu Yunxi glanced up and bit the knife in his mouth.
On the front city wall, there are ladders and ladders, almost climbing upwards on top of people.
Officers and soldiers who were constantly rushing in front were hit and smashed under the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi, who was holding a shield, only heard the sound of the top of his head, and his whole arm slammed on the top of his head, and in the afterglow of his eyes, the officers and soldiers in front of him had already fallen under the city wall behind him.
"Take the city!"
"Fight to the death!"
Before Zhu Yunxi could react, there was a sound of fighting overhead.
Ping-pong.
Slightly moving away from the shield, Zhu Yunxi saw that the cloud ladder in front of him had come to an end.
He was about to turn his head to look at Zhu Shangbing beside him.
But he saw that a stone had been thrown against him from one side.
Zhu Shangbing, who was about to climb the city wall, was suddenly furious.
"Get out of the way!"
Then, Zhu Shangbing actually held a shield, and his feet slammed violently, and the stone hit his thigh.
With a roar, the long knife and shield in Zhu Shangbing's hand had already fallen off, and the person also leaned back and smashed down under the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot instantly, and he threw down the shield in his hand, and the whole person jumped upwards with a kick.
Suddenly the eyes are bright.
At the top of the three ladders, the ground was already full of red, and the corpses fell to the ground.
Before Zhu Yunxi could gain a firm foothold, several officers and soldiers of the defenders of Daluo City in all directions had already surrounded and killed them with long knives.
Zhu Yunxi, who went up to the city wall alone, held a knife in both hands, his legs sank in steps, and the long knife stood between his eyes.
There wasn't much of a garish battle for the city.
One side defends the city, and the other side takes the city.
The people who took the city rushed to the head of the city again and again, and were beaten down by the defenders again and again.
It is impossible to retreat from the walls, and there is no way back.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were locked, and the defenders of Daluo City around him were babbling and shouting words that he couldn't understand.
Four or five long knives slashed at the heads from all sides.
Behind the knife soldiers, several spears drilled out.
Zhu Yunxi held the knife in both hands, identified a direction, roared angrily, and stepped forward.
The blade cut down the long knives of the two enemies in front of him, and Zhu Yunxi had already adjusted his posture, and slammed into the two people in front of him with his shoulders sideways.
A few spears that had just been drilled came out steadily from the backs of the comrades defending the city in Daluo City.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and began to swing the knife in his hand to slash at the enemy on the side.
Blood-stained moon.
In response, several enemies had already fallen in front of Zhu Yunxi.
And he took the opportunity to look sideways out of the city walls.
Several shields had already crossed the city wall, and the roar of Daming Wansheng was endless.
Hold on to this territory!
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi only had this one thought in his mind.
If you hold this place, you will be able to let more Ming troops rush to the city wall, and only then can you open up the situation on the city wall and let more people rush up.
Seeing that the enemy was no match for Zhu Yunxi, the remaining two sword soldiers immediately hid behind the spears.
Bell, bell, bell.
Several spears swept heavily on Zhu Yunxi's back, and if he hadn't dodged in time, the armor would have been pierced by the two spears that worked together. ….
didn't dare to stop, Zhu Yunxi moved left and right, so as to protect the three cloud ladders behind him.
"Great Ming Wansheng!"
"Taisun ascends the city!"
"Hurry up and protect Your Highness!"
With two bangs, two Da Ming jumping soldiers with shields landed on the walls of Daluo City.
"Taisun!"
The two looked at Zhu Yunxi anxiously, and when they saw that he was fine, they hurriedly held a shield in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"Kill!"
"Kill the location of the city gatehouse!"
The sound of landing footsteps in the city behind him became more and more, and Zhu Yunxi had already rushed out of the shield guards of the two jumping soldiers, and swung his knife in the direction of the city gate to kill him.
The two jumpers looked anxious and glanced back at their comrades who had climbed the wall behind them.
"Take the city with Your Highness!"
There was a roar, except for the officers and soldiers who stayed behind to guard the cloud ladder, and the rest chased after Zhu Yunxi, who rushed out, and killed him.
"It's in the city! It's in the city!"
"Boom!"
"Boom to the city gate!"
In the Taisun battalion outside the city, Zhu Gaochi, who was holding a telescope, saw with his own eyes that the Ming army had begun to rush to the city wall one by one, although he couldn't tell who it was, he still roared angrily.
Beside him, lined up were nearly twenty artillery pieces.
Following the order of the military commander, the gunners began to fine-tune the muzzles of the guns after firing the previous round.
Zhu Gaochi put down the binoculars, put his other hand against the saber on his waist, and walked back and forth anxiously in front of the formation, looking at the other two sides of Daluo City from time to time.
"Quick, give me a little faster!"
Multiply......
One by one, the cannon fuses were ignited and crackled.
Then there was a roar in unison.
Countless fires shot like thunder towards the gate tower of Daluo City.
After one round, the officers and men cleaned the chambers and filled them with gunpowder projectiles.
Ignition, launch.
Almost without money, he shot out round after round of projectiles, without the slightest concern about whether the chamber of the gun would explode.
The gate tower of the south city of Daluo City, which imitated the style created by the Ming Dynasty, only survived two rounds, and it was already rectified before the third round of artillery attacks
The seat turned into a sea of fire, and collapsed with a loud bang.
But the artillery never stopped.
The military commander did not give the order to stop, so the gunners began to shoot at the walls and gates.
On the city wall, it has been completely slaughtered.
As the ladders of the Ming Dynasty were transported to the city wall, the entire city wall was divided into battle groups in an instant.
The defenders in Daluo City were rushing to the city wall, and the Ming army outside the city was also rushing to the city wall.
People step on people, and flesh sticks to flesh, almost to the point of hand-to-hand combat.
Zhu Yunxi, who had been killing all the way to the city gate tower, had already gathered dozens of officers and soldiers behind him after crossing the entire five ladders hooked on the city wall.
But because of the banner of the Great Luo City in front of him, the possibility of moving forward was stopped alive.
A Da Luo City guard with two copper hammers stared at Zhu Yunxi, who had cut down the two defending officers and soldiers who were blocking in front of him, with blood-red eyes.
The hand will swing the two copper hammers that are far bigger than fists, and keep beating on the iron armor on the chest.
"Roar!" ….
The guard bent over, stretched his neck, and roared incessantly.
"Your Highness, retreat!"
The Ming officers and soldiers who were following Zhu Yunxi's side couldn't help but hurriedly raise their voices to wake up.
However, Zhu Yunxi had already rushed forward with the same straight knife.
The officers and soldiers were in a hurry and hurriedly followed and killed.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already released a hand from the hilt of the knife, staring at the opponent's guard and waving the two copper hammers, relying on inertia from behind, smashing towards himself from bottom to top.
In a split second.
Just when the copper hammer was about to hit Zhu Yunxi's lower abdomen, his body was crooked, as if he slipped to the side because of the corpse fetters under his feet.
Dodge the Copper Hammer.
Zhu Yunxi, who had already let go of one hand, stretched out his palm and slapped it heavily on the ground.
The whole person slid behind him from the side of the guard with a long knife in his hand.
Ding.
The long knife and the brass hammer collided together.
Zhu Yunxi was in pain, and the long knife fell to the ground.
And he had already gone around to the guard's outstretched hand.
Poof.
A dagger was pulled out of his boots by Zhu Yunxi, and with his inertia, he hooked the guard's back with one hand, and the whole person turned sideways, facing the guard's back.
The dagger in his hand was already handed to the guard.
There was a stab.
The dagger slashed in front of the guard's neck.
Zhu Yunxi clasped the hand behind the guard's hand, and he had already grabbed the tip of the opponent's hair, and after the dagger was sent, he shot back again, sticking heavily into his spine.
There was a muffled sound, and Zhu Yunxi's hand that grabbed the other party's hair shook it, bringing up a cloud of blood mist.
A column of blood with weak pressure gushed out in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
Blood splattered everywhere, staining his eyes red.
The Ming officers and soldiers who followed behind Zhu Yunxi had already rushed behind Zhu Yunxi, blocking the enemy troops who were following behind the guards of Daluo City.
The few Ming officers and soldiers who were left behind protected Zhu Yunxi.
glanced at the head of the guard who was carried by the imperial grandson, and then looked at the general flag on the side.
An officer and soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, stepped forward with a knife, kicked the flag down, and fell towards the outside of the city wall.
"Great Ming Wansheng!"
"City Taker, Emperor Ming Emperor!"
"The Warden of Daluo Castle is dead!"
The Ming officers and soldiers guarding Zhu Yunxi's surroundings had already begun to roar loudly.
The officers and soldiers who rushed up from the cloud ladder outside the city around him, looking at the imperial grandson who was invincible and hanging the head of the enemy's general, also followed and roared.
Rumble!
A roar came from the city gate not far behind Zhu Yunxi.
whereas
Then there was a roar like a landslide and a crack.
Huge waves of air surged in all directions.
"The city is broken!"
"Soldiers follow me!"
